Regardless of your opinion on the issue, he sure seems sleazy. Would he have your vote?
Too funny! This “pro-life” Congressman was caught telling his extramarital boo to get an abortion.

He would get my vote vs a Democrat. The lesser of two evils in my book. How do you think Pittsburgh became a huge film location in the early 10s? The tax breaks were courtesy of Rendell's affair with McCombs, a film lobbyist. All politicians are corrupt.

Murphy is the poster boy for term limits. The guy is in office for a generation. Time to make sure we get new blood in office every 4-6 years. Two term limit max.

Term limits are the epitome of a bad idea that sounds good. In every state that has passed them, professional lobbyists end up writing almost all of the bills, because the legislators are not around long enough to have any idea what the hell they're doing.

I can't say that I'm surprised. Often the ones screaming their morality from the mountain tops and trying to legislate their idea of morals on the rest of us are the biggest hypocrites. He was as conservative as they come on just about everything and had a simple black and white view of the world, which he wanted to impose on everyone. Until the real world crashed in on him. Just another vintage Bentley all wound up.

Term limits amount to throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Educated, informed, and active constituents are a much better solution, however I wouldn't hold your breath on that one either.

Seems like a normal politician. Next story. Seriously, what would anyone expect from someone in politics? They are all about the same.

I expect nothing more from politicians, but I do expect more from my fellow citizens. The complete disregard for taking an active role in electing people who's decisions have direct impact on their lives is an embarrassment.


It's like being mad that your dog made a mess on the floor, while being too lazy to get up and let the dog outside. The blame is not to be put on the politician, but rather the voters.
